I also cannot wait until BLOPS II. Reading the article on that site, it mentions Co-op and something about being able to drive helicopters regularly and in a different way than past COD's. I guess it is safe to assume that Treyarch are really pulling out all of the stops to making this COD different to all of the others. That means it will either be the best, or the worst imo.

If you're a fan of Agent Carter, Agents of SHIELD, Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, DC Comics and Movies, Fear The Walking Dead, GTA, Heroes, Mass Effect or Saints Row, hit me up with a VM, I'm always eager to talk about things I like with fellow fans.

That's how it has been with every COD except Mw3. It had a month at most before people hated it. This is the only one I've completely stopped playing for a period of time on several occasions.

Speaking of which, I played Mw3 today for the first time in a few weeks, and it was ok. I got a MOAB and other than some lag and Seatown campers, it was overall pretty enjoyable.

The only reason as to why I am considering Black Ops 2 a unique COD and possibly either the best or worst is because of all of the new mechanisms they are bringing into the game, and the fact that it will be more of a direct sequel than any of the past treyarch COD's. But the fact that it is supposed to be set in the 1980's and they are trying to bring in Osprey Gunners which are modern inventions-Trying too hard to please the MW3 fans but nevermind.

I was actually on MW3 yesterday playing a few games of Domination. I was on Carbon and ran a Shotgun+Riot Shield combo which was hilarious and I racked up a couple of kills. Then afterwards I felt like trolling and played a game of Search and Destroy with a riot shield and was the first to get the bomb-then hid in the corner of the map when I had about three or four young canadian children screaming at me to plant the bomb Ah good times...

Just bought the DLC pack. Had some spare money on PSN and figured what the hell. Besides if I'm going to start playing Mw3 again, I might as well do it on the only good maps in the game.
Edit: For some reason everytime I play on the new maps I get stuck with an awful team. I haven't won a single match in the Collection 1 playlist yet.

Like I said, I played a FFA on Seatown, and literally EVERYBODY ELSE was camping in a corner the whole game.

Too bad it's only for the 360 and PC =(

Just seen the trailer and wow. Totally not what I expected indeed, they actually brought back Frank Woods somehow. But I don't like the idea of mounting horses and fighting turned robots in Los Angeles for some strange reason, I would have preferred a historical sequel like Mason, Hudson and Weaver in the 1970's/1980's maybe watching the end of Soviet Russia. Oh well, probably will get this game but a lot of it has changed and well...I was hoping it would be a better sequel.

Also Woods was in his 40's back in Black Ops, does that mean he is 100 in 2025 Black Ops 2? Damn.

Well while I still plan to be playing Halo 4 when Black Ops II comes out the trailer has certainly peaked my interest. I like the premise on display, it'll be interesting to see if it's executed well though - after all Black Ops has arguably the best story in the CoD franchise but I personally I felt the narrative ended before the game did, so I felt like I played the last few missions just to see the end of the game rather than being pushed through to the end by the narrative, and that the pace was too hectic.

Also in the trailer there was a guy that was focused on a lot, he kind of looked like Mason. But since Mason would be old like Woods, possibly Mason's son?

The playable character of Black Ops 2 is someone called David Mason, the son of Alex Mason. The guy you see in the trailer a lot is someone called 'Harper'. All of this is over on the Call of Duty wikia if you want to check it out.

Three words for the new trailer: What. The. ****? Just giving my opinions on trailer:
-Words pop up on the screen with Frank Woods. I am immediantly stunned and suprised he is just being obviously reintroduced when I thought he would be kept a secret within the story.

-He shows a lot of hate towards the Chinese, might have something to do with him being a POW in Hanoi Hilton. How long was he in there though?

-Saw the fighting stuff, the new guns and aircraft just scream Gears of Wars rip-offs but I'll let that slide.

-Horses? Really Treyarch, horses? We're going to mount some horses to defeat an army of robots

-'The enemy could be anyone', how does that apply to the enemy robots?

-The main antagonist is someone called Raul Mendenez after reading it on COD wikia, have no idea what this means.

-So aside from Frank Woods being in this game as well as Mason's son, how is this a direct sequel to Black Ops?

Treyarch, I know modern warfare has ended and gears of war and battlefield are doing great as well as other games like red dead redemption, but do you have to try and combine everything into one thing that makes no sense at all?

Zombies-At least that will be good, the original characters will probably return since they'll be teleporters to bring them to 2025.

1/3 of the game takes place in the 1980's and will apparently include characters like Mason, Woods and Hudson, so a lot of story questions can be wrapped up there but new ones can be introduced that will be answered in 2025. Treyarch are doing multiple endings and also wanted to create a three dimensional villain that can be kept throughout their future cod games and they also wanted to give him a backstory. All of this has gotten me geared up for the game, I honestly cannot wait

What interested me is the second last one, which talks about how Frank Woods may have escaped prison, and likely the main villain of the game, Raul Menendez, got him as part of his speculated pact with the Chinese. Then Mason and perhaps some others broke him out and are escaping on horses. Woods looks like the one on the black horse due to the beard and the clothes he is sporting. Seems the 1980's section will feature massively on Operation Charybdis, showing what happened to Alex Mason, Hudson and Weaver. I am trying to prepare myself incase they all do actually get killed by the SAS

Guess with all of this new stuff, it would be too much to ask for Viktor Reznov to return, at least in the 1980's section of it?

God I ****ing hope not. Mason was the most uninteresting main character ever. To be honest I would have liked the Black Ops name to have been dropped altogether because the campaign/multiplayer has left a bad taste in mine (and presumably others') mouths.

As for the trailer? I saw nothing new or game-changing. Treyarch I am disappoint. Not surprised, but still disappoint.

He mentioned a sandbox feature under the multiplayer bit, so I don't know if I should propose this, but could their be custom zombie maps? He also talks about how several modes will be taken to the next level and mentions something about a black ops group of missions across the world-Which makes me think it is the treyarch version of spec ops.

Don't judge a book by its cover kids. ^^^ This just proved why.

Fuck yea zombies is back.

It actually looks like they can pull it through and make it badass. I'm impressed.
